Hey all! I've looked at this site for a long time but have never joined until now. Anyway, I've been having off and on trouble with my butt over the last six to seven weeks. The symptoms have been itching, occasional mucus discharge and discomfort while walking, which has been the most annoying. It almost feels like something is sticking out of my butt. A couple of weeks ago I saw my PA as I, unfortunately, couldn't get an appointment with my GI. She examined me and decided to order an MRI and I had that completed last week which came back clear of any fistulizing. My followup appointment is next week. She thinks it's a hemorrhoid but I'm convinced it's a fissure caused by stress and anxiety. Any ideas as to what it could be? Thanks for any responses!

I'd expect more blood and pain with a fissure (at least in my experience). It does sound like a hemmie, especially with the itching.

That's what I was thinking, too. I have had a fissure about three years ago that had some of the same feelings but a lot more pain was present.

Hi there,

Weirdly enough I came to look up if anyone was expericing rectal pain. Mine came on suddenly last night and it feels as though something is coming out of my bottom as well, quite a bit of pain, especially when I move into different positions or walking. I've had diarrhea over the last couple of days and that maybe why but normally when I do it only hurts when I try to use the washroom, not this constant pain. Sounds somewhat similar to yours except I don't have any mucous or itching!
Good luck!!!
